Mixed with seawater and used in cataplasms or directly on the body, marine mud collects toxins that softly purify the body. Rightly measured with for a ratio of 2kg of mud to 500l of seawater, it reacts physiologically through its malleability and power to hold water and heat, and chemically through the transference of trace elements through the skin.
To be most effective, the wrap should last about 25 mins: while you relax, your skin absorbs mud’s components while toxins that asphyxiate the body are freed by epidermis pores under the effect of heat. Recharged in vitamins, the body is freed of its impurities and the skin becomes softer.
